Structure: The workshop will feature invited talks and a poster session by researchers studying different aspects of human communication. The program includes extended time for Q&A sessions after each talk.

The event is limited to 30 participants, with priority given to researchers submitting a relevant abstract (max 250 words).

Purpose: The Workshop on Communication in Hearing Science will bring together researchers from many different disciplines. The aim is to bring together researchers with hands-on experience with communication behavior and to focus on the challenges around working with communication and the many unanswered questions within this area. We will ask participants to focus on sharing experiences (good or bad), challenges, insights and new ideas to promote lively discussions and hopefully foster new collaborations and perspectives for the future direction of the research field.
